About Us

The UCL Institute for Global Health (IGH) is a world-leading centre of research and teaching excellence in global health.

Our vision is to collaborate across disciplines to find solutions to global health problems. We believe there is no single solution to the world’s health problems. A cross-disciplinary approach is at the heart of our research and teaching, and we draw on the expertise of over 200 staff from across UCL.

Our research

We undertake research in developing and transitional countries, to change lives around the world. We aim to produce world-class research which can be translated into workable solutions for policy makers. Read more >>

Our teaching

We give students the tools they need for a real understanding of global health work. Staff with a unique breadth of experience unite traditional public health concerns with economics, law, philosophy, geography, anthropology and many other disciplines.
